News Release: Made In Bethpage New York Expo
Bethpage, NY - Bethpage Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Saturday, November 7th 2026, we will be conducting our second small business expo. The Bethpage focused event will showcase our chamber members and locally made items at the Archie McCord American Legion Hall at 10 Washington Street from 12 to 4PM in the heart of downtown Bethpage.
The theme “Made In Bethpage, New York” is inspired by the Grumman Lunar Module that was originally developed in Bethpage and partially left behind in 1969 on the Moon during the Apollo missions. This structure famously has a plaque stating “Made In Bethpage, New York” mounted on it by the employees of Grumman of that time to leave a legacy for our community off planet. The Bethpage - Central Park Historical Society will have several collectibles on display for aerospace fans.
Our chamber president, Lisa Moffa, was excited to adapt this phrase to our Shop Local promotions for the chamber of commerce members and community to support our hamlet’s economy. "Isn't it amazing that Bethpage is the only town from Earth named on the Moon all this time? We think that this a fascinating piece of space exploration history that is a unique distinction to honor our town's story." Additionally, she stated that "It's also incredible to know that Northrup Grumman continues to be involved in aerospace by creating the rocket boosters for the Artemis lunar missions earlier this year."
Bethpage Chamber of Commerce is excited to welcome members, shoppers and attendees to our holiday kick off event as a small business expo now known as the Made In Bethpage New York Expo on Saturday, November 7th to begin the Shop Local Season. It will be a great time to view aerospace collectibles and start shopping for holiday gifts!
